Ba'al-lagan!

This video was made in Chashmonaim -- a community where many of the husbands work part time in the US. The same situation is rampant in Beit Shemesh...so they should appreciate this video as well!

Me, on the other hand -- I travel far less than I used to, and for much shorter trips. And for once, I'm not going on a business trip the week before Pesach this year...just milluim! (really, I didn't schedule it!)

The absolute worst homecoming was when older was 3 and younger was 6 months. Both had viruses, I came down with strep throat, I was nursing and I was on the verge of collapse.

Husband calls me from the airport- I say, quite calmly, I need him home ASAP.

He didn't quite hear how urgent it was to come home and spent a few hours in the office on the way home.

He walks in all smiles and "I missed everyone it's great to be home!" I nearly slammed the door in his face, completely broke into tears and shouting "Which word of AS SOON AS POSSIBLE didn't you understand!!!!!"

My husband also did the traveling to chul for business (when he worked with the far east for 2-3 weeks at a time sometimes) and although something always went wrong when he was gone (the washing machine broke one trip, the car broke down when I was on my way to Yerushalayim to a doctor's appt I had waited months for) things still ran more smoothly when he wasn't home. Somehow, you know what needs to be done and just get on with it instead of waiting for his help which you never get and then get annoyed with him. And I also know some of those people - cool video!

LOL!!! This is the funniest thing I've seen in a long while! It's hilarious - and so true! Hubby is at this minute in Australia... coming home on erev Pesach. That changed lock sounds like quite a good idea right now...
